After a delayed departure from the UK the shipping agents tell me the ship carrying the Landrovers is about to leave Rotterdam at last, bound for Capetown.  It is due to dock there on Wed 13 July but it will take several days to get the Landrovers off and through Customs before we can head north to Namibia.

This picture shows both expedition Landrovers at Felixstowe Docks about to be loaded into a container.  The ship sails for Capetown on 23 June.

This is the first posting I've made to the Blog. Please check back regularly to see the progress of my expedition up through Africa - I'll be uploading posts as regularly as I can, but be aware communications in Africa are not what they are in Wiltshire!
